SLIP - Sobriety Loses It's Priority.
When I thought of the topic, I thought of how we can slip mentally, emotionally, and spiritually before we pick up.
Even those of us in Al-Anon and Nar-Anon can slip back into old patterns and behaviors that are not conducive to good recovery. It isn't just about substance abuse and what we pick up to stuff and numb our feelings.
Slip, not something we always do on a banana peel. Something we don't always recognize because it means falling back into things that are familiar and comfortable.
New behaviours, patterns, and habits are not always comfortable and often they means risks and stepping into unchartered waters and into the unknown, so we need to let go of fear and walk in faith. Know that the program will work with us when we take our Higher Power with us and go where we are lead. It is a sad day when my Higher Power has more faith in me, than I have in Him.
